- I thought I recognised the location of your profile pic. I have skated that ramp back in the early 80's. Lee Bryan organised a comp and a load of us came up from London but it snowed badly overnight and the comp was postponed, we nearly got stranded there, that tale is told in my story in the forthcoming "Lives on Board" book.
I'll add some of the photos here shortly. Cheers.

- I don't know...I just remember how much fun I had in London with the cute kids chasing after me for autographs and wanting to "have a go" on my board. There were a lot of very enthusiastic skater kids - I don't doubt that they would have been the leaders if they could have skated year 'round.

- Very cool - thanks! Did you see me when I came to London? I think it was 1977.
